I took some videos before and after I bolted on the M Performance. I used my Iphone5 so hope it came out ok. I pointed the speaker towards the exhaust for better sound.

EDIT: Here is the video after 1000 miles. Its "borken in". I think it sounds deeper, and it did get louder. I expected this reading up on past threads. I think its the perfect amount of exhaust noise and its not intrusive at all. If you get a killer deal on it I suggest get it.
Its a warm start, revs are up to 4k, golf tee mod done flap fully open. I started in comfort mode and switched to sport in the end of the video.

did you do the mod to keep the flap open? did you notice a difference after doing it?

Yes I did the mod before I even bolted up the exhaust. I cant say what kind of difference it made because I never had the exhaust on the car while the valve was operationa. However I can say that I did the valve mod on my stock exhaust and it made it a little deeper. Not much but you will tell a slight difference.

Surprisingly the M Performance Exhaust sounds deeper and louder for sure. I'm saying "surprisingly" coz TBH I wasn't a huge fan of the M Perf Exhaust and was looking towards the Eisenmann.

Please post videos after the break in, hoping for an even more deeper burble!

I will no doubt, I was planning on it. I think having all 3 comparisons will help a lot of people decide if its for them or not. I wanted something louder but not annoying. I think the m performance was just that. As for performance increase if you're after that, I'd look elsewhere.

sorry guys this exhaust is shit, no compare to the performance for n54. sound like tubonoise and nothing spzeial little bourble and that's . now i have mine modificated a little now it's better but it's much money for this exhaust and it's not the best sound from performance

What did you do to modify it? I'm not necessarily agreeing or disagreeing with what you're saying. I wanted to retain my warranty and something subtle.

I agree $900 is a lot of money for 2 horsepower and louder sound. But this is what I wanted and I'm not after a premium exhaust just a little something that's louder.

There was more burble towards the end, maybe coz u were in sport mode???

If so, sounds way better in sport mode.

Yes I switched to sport midway through, so people can see and hear the difference.

Yeah, I always try to do it even in normal driving lol. I think it sounds pretty decent. Is it going to make everyone want it or fall in love with the sound, no. But I have no regrets at all. Im not trying to have a crazy loud car thats annoying.
